what i find that works best is hearing a lot of whatever language you want to learn (in your case, japanese. luckily it's easy to find people speaking japanese qq) and taking lessons in real life. it works so much better when you have 1 on 1 contact with your teacher, and when you're not being taught by a computer program. just my two cents on that.

although, good luck!

ALso: play lots of little games in whatever language you want to learn trust me it helps a ton

Japanese is a very, very complicated language and there's three different writing types for it, as well as honorifics and other tiny add-ons. You're going to have to be seriously dedicated if you want to learn it.

The best way to learn a language is to be surrounded by people who speak your target language. That's what we did as babies, right? Even if we had no idea what the people around us were saying, we adjusted to it. Pimsleur Approach is the best language-learning site that uses that technique, and I would suggest that the most.

Rosetta Stone is okay. It's not well with syntax, and it takes quite a while to learn. It's also really, really expensive. I wouldn't recommend it.

You could even ask some Japanese friends to help you, by talking to you in that language. That will probably be rare and difficult, though.

I know how you feel. I'm learning how to speak Greek, which has a completely different alphabet and writing ways. I learned the alphabet and how to read and write it now, so you should try that. Also, when you hear people talking it, find out what they were saying and repeat the word to yourself!

I watched Dangan Ronpa episode 4 raw, if that's what you mean. Just look up some sites if you want to learn so bad. (btw PM me if you wanted to watch dangan Ronpa episode 4 raw because i totally like found subs c:)
